Il sistema di educazione continua in medicina

The system of continuous education in medicine, recently revisited in Italy by the Ministery of Health, is a pool of procedures finalized to guarantee the periodic accumulation of credits for the sanitary personnel, on the basis of the needs and requests of medical activities. Pediatricians, those medical doctors which take care of newborns, infants, children and adolescents, both in primary and hospital care, must receive both residential and distance formation. A multidisciplinary approach of general and specialistic pediatrics must be guaranteed by scientific societies and sponsors.
